It's A Diaper Shower

Happy Monday my Crafty Friends! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I participated in 2 blog hops this past weekend, if you haven't already, you should scroll down and take a hop!

All weekend, I've been working on some invites for my son, Christopher's diaper shower. I had to make 60 of them so I kept it ultra simple. I decided since I was making so many, I would make it like a postcard. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Back

To create the invite, I first printed all of them and then cut them down to 5 1/2 X 4 1/4. I was able to get 4 from each sheet of blue card stock (Recollections). I wanted to keep everything simple since this is going out to men. Next I started on the front, I cut my yellow mat at 5 1/4 X 4 and the green 5 X 3 3/4. Both the yellow and green paper is from Color Bok (Wal-Mart). I ran the green mat through the cuttlebug with the Spots and Dots embossing folder. I added a piece of ribbon that says It's A Boy (Hobby Lobby). My image was cut using the Baby Steps cartridge at 3 inches. I decided to cut the base in flesh color and skip one step because I wanted to add a PK face. I than cut all the layers as usual.

Super Cute card Miranda. I love the embossed background. Great idea to make a postcard, you have given me an idea :) btw, what is a diaper shower?TFS!ClaireRMy Cricut Craft Room DTM www.ThreeWatersCreations.com
